[OPEN] Earthquake Event

Characters: OPEN
Location: Death City
Rating: Varied
Time: Jan 22
Description: OOC post here.



It's early in the morning -- just after morning training -- when the ground beneath Death City shakes violently in what most of you might recognize as an earthquake. It's not a particularly huge one for the more experienced of the guests, but it sends cracks shooting through the cobblestoned ground of Death City and up the sides of some buildings. A small handful of structures, mostly those that have been abandoned in the course of this war or the very old ones, take the most damage and topple over or crumble at their foundations.

The earthquake lasts no more than half a minute, but the vibrations and aftershocks last through the day. Death City's streets become full of holes, from those the size of apples to what could be described as deep ditches. The greatest damage, however, is the commercial sector, which becomes flooded as the waterways take damage and spill water into the streets. Shibusen's alarms blare out and quick, urgent orders to fix the waterways and search for the injured or anyone trapped in rubble filter in through all networks.

[Blinks, a bit surprised by this. Although, it's better that people ask than just assume...]

Financial & Services will probably need more volunteers. You'll have to be prepared to get wet, though. The flooding is pretty bad.
thewarisover: (caught off-guard)

[personal profile] thewarisover 2012-02-02 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
Not really. I just got worried when you didn't check in. Everything all right?
motherofthesun: (Wolf: Don't mess with me...)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-02-02 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[She's tossing aside some larger bits of rubble with her fangs, but human hands coming to help works too.]
motherofthesun: (Jubilant)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-02-02 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
It's alright. No one suspects a wolf of being a goddess.

[personal profile] naniwarocky 2012-02-02 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, come on. We might be able to make use of your megaphone voice to contact survivors trapped in the buildings.

[ Rhode's wearing something cute for their little stroll, hanging off of her partner's arm as they go out to see the toll the earthquake has taken on the city- The same way most people would go to see a garden show, really. They're not out and about to be helpful, though. Just to have a look-see. ]

He heaved with his extraordinary muscles, and the two of them managed to lever the block out of the way, granting access to the collapsed floor below it. The entrance was small, but who knew how far the crevice might go.

"I'm just fine," he said, shaking his head as he lowered his head into the hole. "Is anybody down there?" he called out. "If you can hear me, try to make some noise!"
frozenheavens: (At hand)

[Hitsugaya and Takasugi] [Afternoon] [Closed]

[personal profile] frozenheavens 2012-02-02 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Once he'd made sure that his subordinate was okay, Hitsugaya headed out in search of Sougo. He figured his partner would be alright and generally wasn't concerned, but it was on his mind to make sure when he went back out onto the streets.

As he hurried along, he slowed to a stop when he saw Shinsuke Takasugi across the jumbled street. After a moment of heavy hesitation, he moved to quickly cross over to him, calling out with reluctance.]


Hey. Have you seen Okita?
karmafree: (oya?)

/o/

[personal profile] karmafree 2012-02-02 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oya, oya~ that little tremor did quite a number on this city, didn't it?
alastinglight: (jooi - glance)

[personal profile] alastinglight 2012-02-02 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Turning at the sound of the familiar voice.]

Hitsugaya.

[Shakes his head.]

...No, I haven't. [And he's been everywhere.]

Since we have just met, it would be strange to call you only 'Clovis'...

[It's a bit apologetic; but it's also not exactly an agreement.]

[Ed had finally managed to make it to his assigned zone, but he wasn't really sure what kind of use he could be. The collapsed structure on the outer limits of the city had seen to inflict some small injuries on him and larger ones on his automail. He'd told Roy he'd had worse and it was true; some pieces of the automail had been broken off and his shoulder had been hit, making his movements with that arm slower and more difficult where the nerve connections had been damaged.

The lack of alchemy was especially frustrating now as he stared around the destruction in the streets. If he could help it, he wouldn't think about things that couldn't be but it was impossible not to dwell on it. All he could do now was see if there was anyone around needing help.]

The goddess of harmony. I presume you come from a fairly royal world.

[With all the fancy titles and whatnot, Barnaby figured he also had some interesting position of power. But all of his own speculations and curiosities could wait, and he quickened his pace. For as concerned as he was while removing the larger bits, the glint of the armor's metal provided a bit of relief. At least there was some sort of protection standing between the Warrior and the building.

Of course, there were a lot more concerns, but those could be addressed later as well. With a rather hefty lift, Barnaby moved a large piece off, enough to hopefully free up a limb or two. He could see spots of the ground below. Almost there...

[The earthquake had certainly been a shock, but not something completely unfamiliar to Tifa. It was instances like this that she could only think of the Planet revolting. The city was a mess, so she had to assume there would be many people in bad situations.

As she headed through the streets, she tried to keep a general eye out for people in need to help but without meaning to, she started thinking of those she was close to, wondering if they were safe.

When she saw him at a distance, Tifa paused before beginning to hurry over to Itachi, knowing he wouldn't be able to make her out until she got close up to him. When she got closer, she slowed until she was before him, out of breath from running around and feeling relief that he didn't appear hurt.]


Itachi... you're okay?

[OH GDIT-- Thankfully Barnaby's reflexes are quick enough to grab Kotetsu's arm to tug him back. No flying over the edge now. He's actually rather surprised he ran into Kotetsu this way, but he doesn't waste much time since he's more or less focused on making sure the late arrival doesn't pitch himself into the crater.]

Careful! What if I wasn't here to stop you, old man?

[He's only mean because he worries for your wellbeing.]

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-02-02 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that is my request.
frozenheavens: (Cause it’s all just the same at the end)

[personal profile] frozenheavens 2012-02-02 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, that's slightly more concern. He kind of gives Takasugi the eye, keeping some distance still]

Are you looking for someone too?
alastinglight: (jooi - i'm listening)

[personal profile] alastinglight 2012-02-02 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Pauses to think for a bit.]

I think it's been around for five months now.
alastinglight: (jooi - quiet)

[personal profile] alastinglight 2012-02-02 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
No, I managed to get a hold of the people I was looking for out for earlier. Now I'm on duty.

[Pauses there, considering... should he...

...Yeah fine, whatever.]


We can look for your partner together, if you want.

[With their combined efforts, it doesn't take them long at all to dig out the woman who had been trapped underneath.

Once they're done saving her, Roy's backing, finding a good wall to slump against.]


I'll need to take a break for a bit.
motherofthesun: (Just a white wolf)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-02-02 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Amaterasu watched them take the woman away, but then followed Roy with her eyes as he walked over to the wall. For a moment, she just sat there, but then, she trotted over and sat before him.]

To know that I, Yukimura, have found you once more but too late..!!

[ cries. there is a little crying going on. the least he can do is try to get Mitsunari out of there, right?! Even if he's dead (but flailing)!! He's going to be a moment, though.

Once he's ready though, he's not sure if he should be dragging the body or moving the soda machine. ]

[Terezi is wandering the city, as well, mostly because she's never experienced an earthquake before.

...But okay, yes, she is also searching for survivors. It's a little difficult, doing so relying on her sense of smell, and she's so focused on sniffing that she nearly runs right into Eve.]

[[Bakura almost grimaces a little, he really hadn't meant to have someone-- especially not a total stranger!-- fret over him...! Aaa-- he should have just gotten up again!

A little awkwardly he starts to push himself up to be sitting with just his right hand, taking care to leave his left arm relaxed to not put any stress of it or his hand.]]


Aaa-- I'm fine, really, just a little shaken up, that's all! [[gives a small laugh to try and help the 'look, I'm fine, I'm even making jokes!' appearance. Though considering he's still sporting the remains of last weekend's black eyes and bruises, the fresh scrapes and red spots aren't likely to be so easily passed away.

Though once he's sitting he will take that offered hand to help him back to his feet, keeping an eye on the ground to make sure he doesn't get tripped up again.]]
